The usual reason for this is malware on your own computer, not anything on this site.
There are a number of trojans out there which do this sort of thing, and you can easily catch the infection if you visit shopping sites or sports or gaming sites. Suggest you run one of the malware programs, such as Malwarebytes (free download from malwarebytes.org), before sending feedback if nothing is found and the problem persists. Virus software doesn't remove this kind of infection because it's adware, not a virus.

I was afraid the problem was on my machine. But it only seems to occur on the RHP site. I did run Malwarebytes, and I use AVG (both free version) but the problem persists.
I fear Russ can't do anything.

Try using a different browser, and also try using a different machine. You don't need to do this permanently, just to verify where the problem is occurring. There are a few other spyware detectors, try using those, as most people reckon you need about four different ones to catch all malware.

Sounds like some program might be working in the background to hijack pop-up windows in your browser.
If the malware programs don't find the culprit, try disabling all your browser extensions and re-enabling them one by one; you might be able to short-cut this by looking for any suspicious extensions you don't remember installing.
Originally posted by BigDoggProblemNo issues with my software; only concern was that this site might be compromised. I have no technical depth.
That won't help. He's obviously got some scumware lodged in his machine.
Rare that MWB didn't fix it, though.
To OP: are you sure you updated the MWB definitions before you scanned?
